Hi, I am trying to access a website and read its content. The website is a restricted access website that I access through a proxy server (which therefore requires me to enable cookies). I have problems in allowing Rcurl to receive and send cookies.
The following lines give me: library(RCurl) library(XML) url <- "http://www.theurl.com"; content <- readHTMLTable(url) content $`NULL` V1 1 2 Cookies disabled 3 4 Your browser currently does not accept cookies.\rCookies need to be enabled for Scopus to function properly.\rPlease enable session cookies in your browser and try again. $`NULL` V1 V2 V3 1 $`NULL` V1 1 Cookies disabled $`NULL` V1 1 2 3 I have carefully read section 4.4. from this: http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/RCurlJSS.pdf and tried the following without succes: curl <- getCurlHandle() curlSetOpt(cookiejar = 'cookies.txt', curl = curl) Any suggestions on how to allow for cookies? Thanks.
